'''4/1''' is the 4th [[harmonic]], or the '''tetrave'''; two octaves: ([[2/1]])<sup>2</sup>.
'''4/1''', the '''4th harmonic''', '''double octave''', '''perfect fifteenth''', '''tetrave''' or '''quadruple''', is the [[harmonic]] past [[3/1]] and before [[5/1]]. It is the first composite harmonic, equal to a stack of two [[octave]]s: ([[2/1]])<sup>2</sup>.
 
It can act as the [[interval of equivalence]] in temperaments that omit every other octave, such as [[meansquared]].
